Governor Rick Perry soke today at the Austin Tea Party to about 1500 teabaggers. I was able to get in only one question at the end.
Senate leaders have agreed on an extension of the $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit along with a new $6,500 tax credit for move-up buyers, but it is unclear when the chamber will vote on the measure. The credit extension would run from Dec. 31, 2009 through April 30, 2010 and give buyers with a binding contract an extra 60 days to close. The tax credit extension raises the income limits to $125,000 for single-filers and $225,000 for joint filers. This applies to first-time and repeat buyers. To qualify for the $6,500 tax credit, repeat buyers must have used a previous home as a principal residence for five of the previous eight years. The Obama administration said it supports an extension of the first-time homebuyer tax credit. "In extending the tax credit, we urge Congress to include strict measures to combat tax fraud and protect responsible homeowners," Treasury secretary Timothy Geithner said. The tax credit extension is expected to be attached to a bill extending unemployment benefits by 20 weeks. Still, it is unclear when the Senate will pass the extension bill (H.R. 3548), despite broad bi-partisan support. The current $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit is set to expire Nov. 30. |

Right on! I like how he avoided answering your good question.
He's more handsome than most angry white men.
why are they referred to as teabaggers? Isn't that a gay term and wouldn't that be more in line with liberals? That sort of mockery shows intolerance which shows you are really no better than the people you are against. Try respecting your enemies even though you disagree with them and maybe a solution can be found! Ya think?
